| Description | L-carnitine dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD+-dependent oxidation of L-carnitine to 3-dehydrocarnitine. Its substrates are L-carnitine and NAD+ but not D,L-3-hydroxybutyrate, L-lactate, ethanol, L-malate, and D,L-isocitrate. This enzyme is involved in a L-carnitine degradation pathway that allows bacteria (such as P.aeruginosa, Xanthomonas translucens and Rhizobium sp. YS-240) to grow on L-carnitine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen [ , , ]. | Name | L-carnitine dehydrogenase |
| Short Name | L-carnitine_dehydrogenase | Type | Family |
